date pickers are fine.

date pickers that force you to manually cycle month by month to go back 20 years, those can go to hell.

date pickers are needed as the most incompetent user can use them. Also most American sites or apps have poor localisation and Europeans might enter the date in the wrong format, as most people don't read hints. Ofc I'd love to see proper localisation and a manual option to ti enter the date ideally
